Any members of Street Commodores here have probably seen my VS around before, it's my little budget blaster and has so far done me real well. Still just a stock Ecotec base with 250,000 kays, I flog the living guts out of it and has always come back for more. Here is a link to some fun at the latest Powercruise in Sydney, with some off the brake 2nd gear powerskids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm4EHsdUeLk So far she has made 211rwkw, but worn valvesprings looks to be robbing some top end grunt. It made 196rwkW with just the bolt on Raptor kit, even without an intercooler on only 6psi so I think the car has a bit left in her yet. A 1 bar (14psi) pulley is not too far away Anywho, where is a list of work done to it so far. Model: VS Series II Acclaim Colour: Alaskan White Bodykit: None Engine Type: 3.8-Litre Ecotec V6 L36 Engine Mods: Raptor V Supercharger running a 8 PSI pulley, LinkPlus G3 ECU with 2.5bar MAP sensor, 36lb/h injectors, FIT 1.97:1 High Ratio Rockers, 5/16 CROW Pushrods, FIT 81 degree thermostat, MSD Coil packs, MACE reversed intake plenum, MACE ported throttle body, MACE manifold insulator, MACE plenum spacer, NGK Iridium plugs, 450x300x75 intercooler running 3" piping and 4" intake, Bosch plumb back BOV Rev limiter: 6700rpm Power Now: 211.2rwkW @ 7psi Best power while N/A: 128.8rwkW Power with cat back exhaust: 117rwkW 1/4 mile ET: 13.940@100.4MPH unintercooled on 7psi with gearbox issues. Exhaust: Pacemaker extractors (1 1/2" primaries, 2 1/4" collectors) into single 3" stainless highflow cat, single muffler and single resonator into 3 1/4" tail.
